Eagle’s Glory

"I know how to be grateful, even if this kind of kindness is not pure."

After hearing the boy's promise, Mrs. Louisa finally smiled slightly. "Frantz, you are indeed very sensible. When you decide to piss off someone, you can do it easily; but the same is true when you decide to please someone."

Then, she sighed again, "Sometimes, I even think that you grow up too fast, and it's a pity that you lost your innocence at a young age."

"It doesn't seem to be my responsibility. My living environment and survival philosophy are not all determined by myself. Others also have a certain responsibility-especially those who brought me here." Aegron replied calmly.

Of course Louisa could hear the sarcasm in his words, and her eyes flickered with irritation, but in the end it didn't flare up.

"Well, I admit that I'm sorry for you. But, sir - you ask yourself, in that chaotic situation, if I hadn't brought you back to Austria, you would have ended up much better than you are now Is it? Although you are restricted here, you still have no worries about food and clothing, and you are also a noble highness in name, much better than that poor Louis XVII."

During the Revolution, Louis XVI tried to escape with his family, but was stopped at the border and escorted back to Paris. After Louis XVI was beheaded, his son was honored as the new king by the exiled nobles who fled abroad, named Louis XVII-however, he had never been treated by any king when he was young, and he was assigned by the revolutionary government to He was taken under the guardianship of a shoemaker, and his living conditions became extremely harsh. In the end, he died silently of tuberculosis when he was only ten years old.

Although it seemed a bit unreasonable, Luisa's rebuttal seemed to be correct.

When Louis XVI and Napoleon fell, their only sons both suffered strikingly similar fates and both died of tuberculosis, but the Austrians at least did not treat Napoleon's son badly in terms of living conditions.

"Although the Austrians have a grudge against Napoleon, at least they don't hate to the point of mortal hatred, but the Bourbon family is different from those royalists. They have a bloody feud to avenge. If it falls into their hands, it will be terrible." It is God's ultimate test of human morality, are you sure they can pass the test and repay you with kindness and raise you well?" Luisa asked again.

"You're right." Aigron didn't force his words, but nodded directly, "I don't have anything to blame you on this point, Napoleon will pay the price for the destruction of the empire, and I, as the former crown prince, also The same. Compared with Louis XVII, the price I pay is not unbearable."

"I'm glad you can discuss this issue with me rationally." Luisa smiled wryly, "When I was your age, I didn't know how to think about issues at all. I married your father and gave birth to you in a daze. 1814 What can I do in 2009? The coalition forces from all over Europe are coming to an end, and Bonaparte's empire is about to end, and some of the coalition forces even come from my natal family! What do you expect me to do? I have never been burdened Training in a country, what can I do at that time? I can only obey my father's call and bring myself to Austria with you-I couldn't think of a better idea at the time."

After a pause, she added in a low voice, "I said so much not to expect you to forgive me, nor to beg for your understanding, I just told you my feelings at that time, don't think that you were the only ones that year Father and son are suffering, your father got carried away with power and ended up messing up all of our lives, and Murat and Ney were both shot because of him! I'm having a hard time finding my own life, having a family that I love, I don't want to be associated with that name anymore, I just want to live the rest of my life in peace and try to give my kids a brighter future,

You can laugh at my mediocrity, sir, I don't care. "

Aegron was silent for a moment.

Although his heart is still filled with the anger and resentment that she has ignored and forgotten for many years, even so, he also understands that it is impossible for him to really get her guilty apology.

Everyone has their own standpoint and logic of action, and they move forward within the scope of their own eyesight, and occasionally meet other people and deduce their own stories.

But if you go the wrong way at the beginning, then even if you are as close as mother and child, you will only be strangers in the end.

After returning to Austria, the Queen of the French Empire decided to abandon the nightmare of the past and seek her own life as the Grand Duchess of Parma, so in the end their life trajectories became two parallel lines.

It's nothing to be sorry about, it's just fate.

He is only the son of the Queen of France, not the son of the Grand Duchess of Parma, so why should she entrust her with so much maternal love?

After figuring all this out, Aigron no longer had the original resentment.

This wasn't his mother in the first place, but because of the original spiritual influence of the King of Rome, he subconsciously expected something, but now that it was truly confirmed that she was lost, there was not much loss and pain.

Besides, I also got compensation from others.

Thinking of this, a person's voice and smile suddenly appeared in his mind. Although it was the person he had just said goodbye to, he suddenly wanted to see her again.

"I won't dictate other people's lifestyles, ma'am." He tried his best to suppress the rising desire in his heart, and looked at Luisa as calmly as possible, "I won't place too high expectations on you, you give As much as I am, I will repay you. You were indifferent to me before, so I was indifferent to you; now you are trying to help me, so no matter what your purpose is, I appreciate it and will respond accordingly I can’t repay you now, but I will in the future when I have the chance—and that’s what you’re looking forward to, isn’t it?”

"The reward depends on how much I help you?" Luisa asked back.

"Of course." Aigron shrugged handsomely, "No more, no less, fair and reasonable."

Then, he took two steps forward, took his mother's right hand, and kissed it gracefully before letting go. "Ma'am, I look forward to your care."

Luisa didn't say anything more, but just calmly watched her son's indifferent performance on the surface.

Her eyes were a little disappointed, but she was not disappointed. She knew that this seemed to be the most she could get from her eldest son.

Perhaps, it might not be a bad thing for her to resolve her complex entanglements with the Bonaparte family in this way.

As the mother and child interacted like ordinary friends, the atmosphere between the two people also eased down.

Undoubtedly, there is no reconciliation between them, but at least they have let go.

"It's great that we can open our hearts to each other today." After a moment of silence, Luisa spoke again, "Before we say goodbye, would you like to listen to a piece of advice?"

"Please tell me." Eggron nodded.

Luisa looked around subconsciously, and after making sure that no one was overhearing, she moved closer to her face, then lowered her voice, "You should pay attention in the future, there are rumors about you and Sophie everywhere, I have only been here for a few days I heard that this is very bad for you."

Aegron's expression froze. "What do you mean?"

"You now have the hope of becoming the son-in-law of Grand Duke Karl, there is no need to give up all your previous achievements for some unnecessary reasons." Luisa looked at him calmly, "Farewell to the past feelings gracefully, this is what young men and women learn in the upper class Your first lesson. The current matter is very important to you, if you want to have an affair, there will be opportunities in the future..."

"Okay, I ask you to stop, ma'am." Aigron bowed to the other party and ended the conversation politely.

Seeing that he didn't listen to the advice, Luisa could only shake her head helplessly. "Your self-esteem is too strong, and you refuse to listen to others' advice, then I can't help it."

"It has nothing to do with self-esteem. I am a person who pays attention to realism. If necessary, self-esteem can be temporarily abandoned." Aigron looked at his mother and replied unhurriedly, "There is only one reason why I don't want to hear it. In my mind, she is more important than you, ma'am. From the point of view of ordinary friends, your advice has crossed the line."

Luisa's face suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled. The words really stabbed her.

"Okay, you can think about your own affairs, I have nothing to say." Then, she turned and left.

Aigron finally ended the impatient conversation. He couldn't hold back his desire anymore, and walked straight to Princess Sophie's bedroom on the other side.

The reason why he rejected his mother's opinion so forcefully was not only based on emotional reasons. At present, Princess Sophie is the biggest reliance on his plan to realize it. If you take the initiative to stay away from Sophie, and then the matter with Teresa fails to be negotiated, then you will face the worst situation, and it will be very difficult to think of a way again.

No, I will talk about these considerations later, now he just wants to see her...

Soon, he got the permission of Her Royal Highness again and had an audience with her.

Just like in the morning, Her Royal Highness was resting on the sofa, but this time she was holding the script he had just written in her hand.

After seeing the boy, she put down the script in her hand, and then looked at him carefully.

"Aigron, your expression is ugly." Then, she said, "Did His Majesty the Emperor reprimand you just now?"

"No." Aigron shook his head, "He just asked me something."

"Then what's the matter with you?" Seeing his expression, Princess Sophie was a little anxious, "Is it your mother?"

"There was no quarrel, we just exchanged opinions with each other. From a positive point of view, our relationship is now straightened out." Aigron shook his head, "Okay... don't mention this, I just want to see you Just a moment, and thank you for taking care of me all the time."

"You said it as if you were about to say goodbye." Princess Sophie couldn't help laughing out of surprise, "It's okay, you're welcome."

Then, she pointed to the place next to the sofa, "Okay, sit down and rest for a while, I think your condition is really bad."

Aigron did not follow her suggestion, but continued to stand in front of Her Royal Highness, looking at her all the time.

"What happened to you?" Her Royal Highness was even more surprised.

"Your Highness... I want to give you a hug, is that okay?" the young man said suddenly.

Her Royal Highness opened her eyes wide.

She looked at the boy suspiciously to confirm his mental state at the moment.

Under the gaze of the young man, she hesitated at first, but finally sighed helplessly.

"All right."

Then, she stood up leisurely. "I'm really curious what your mother did to you, why you suddenly look like a lost child..."

"I lost my soul...but I found it too..." Eggron muttered under his breath.

"What?" Princess Sophie didn't hear clearly, so she asked, but her question was quickly interrupted.

"ah……"

She suddenly felt someone hug her waist tightly.

Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, because the boy hugged him so hard, she suddenly felt a little hard to breathe.

"Easy..." she complained softly.

However, the young man didn't seem to hear it, he still hugged her tightly, buried his head on her shoulder, and slightly closed his eyes.

This moment made him feel sincere joy.

"It's okay." Princess Sophie sighed helplessly, and at the same time reached out and patted his back. "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, at least I still support you."

"Yes, I believe so..." Aegron murmured.

Then, the two hugged like this, speechless for a long time.

"Does this feel better?" After a long time, Her Royal Highness asked.

"It feels so good." The young man looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Then let me go." Princess Sophie frowned, "I can't breathe anymore!"

She said that it was false that she couldn't breathe, but it was true that her face was hot and her breathing was a little short at the moment.

Looking at the face of the young man in her arms, she suddenly felt her heart beating faster.

Really grown up, how handsome.

Then, she barely raised her hand and carefully pushed him away.

"This is just to comfort you because you are so devastated..." She tried her best to calm herself down and make her look more natural. "Aigron, get well."

"I know." Aigron looked at Princess Sophie solemnly, "I...I will always remember this moment."
